I'm thinking the shot that I found may have been misplaced on GE . In that GE image, the placements of the buildings don't perfectly match this shot (video) from Pond5 which, right now the best representation of the place.

I have included another possible location from GE below. But the general blurriness makes it hard to be sure.

It's speculated that John & Jessica are the team to be eliminated this leg, and due to our future sightings of other teams, they probably are. What puzzles me is HOW?! They are physically and mentally one of the strongest teams left, not to mention they have an Express Pass! Here's my theory: they play the EP on the Detour, but they're screwed over by the Roadblock.

Judging by the 'looks' of our Detour, neither option seems difficult enough for John & Jessica not to complete. Then I saw this:

“I Love Monkeys!”– another Team makes history while trying to avoid elimination

This 'hint' from the episode preview is probably the reason why John & Jessica get eliminated. But the question is, HOW?! From the previews it seems as though Caroline struggles terribly with the Roadblock. Possibly, she takes a 4 hour penalty and they survive because Jessica takes so long? I have no idea. I guess we'll have to wait and see

"I Love Monkeys!"-- In Detour B, Married couple Wynona (left) and Chuck (right) must assemble an elaborate religious offering known as a "Gebogan" then take it to the Pura Desa Puseh Temple for a blessing in order to receive the next clue, on THE AMAZING RACE, Sunday, March 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

i was expecting Gebogan or Penjor challenge in Bali and they did the Gebogan, although i prefer the Penjor. Making Penjor is much harder than Gebogan. Gebogan is commonly made by women, while Penjor made by men.Penjor

Every village has at least three temples: the Pura Desa, where religious festivals are celebrated, the Pura Dalem for the Goddess of Death (this is the place where the funeral cremation rites start), and the Pura Puseh that is dedicated to the Gods of Heaven.

Is this a double temple or did CBS just fudge the name of the temple?

Chateau, Bing has a clearer map than Google, but I can't match our temple up to either site.

Found out that Neobie in Chinese means "f*king awesome"! No, really. Look it up!

i was thinking the same thing. JJ probably use their EP on the Detour and then struggled at the roadblock. These pics are from the roadblock. they run back and forth carrying a surfboard in a place like this. No wonder Caroline's so tired & frustrated

We saw Caro & Jen here (in the preview). There is a short staircase (circled). Team must use that to reach the pit stop

That seems to be a non-town unspecific name:

There are three fundamental types of temple in every village. Pura Puseh (temple of origin) remains the most important and is reserved for founders of villages. It is always situated at the kaja end of the village.

In the middle of the village is the Pura Desa, which is for the spirits that protect and bless the villagers in their daily lives.

Here's my theory on "ONE TEAM MAKES HISTORY WHILE TRYING TO AVOID ELIMINATION"

It's probably something simple like John/Jessica probably use their Express Pass at some point during the leg but get eliminated on the same leg - never happened on the US edition, correct?

Yes. It has never happened in the original US edition. I read on Wikipedia on the inaugural season of The Amazing Race Vietnam, Thanh Thủy & Minh Thoa won the EP on its first leg and they used the EP on the third leg of that season, but they were eliminated. This was the first TAR franchise to do so.
